Judging from some of your other posts in other threads I seriously would bet that you are NOT telling BOTH sides of the story.
You strike me as a difficult person to
deal with.
I'm not saying that the vehicle was trouble free of course, but due to the fact that you weren't satisfied with the overall purchase it made any issues a bigger deal than they would have been otherwise.
The fact that the dealer AND the Toyota District Rep seemed to disengage you, and that you never attempted to visit another dealer for a second opinion, even with a bit of an extra trip involved tells me that you had buyers remorse, and it wasn't because the truck was a lemon or didn't perform to your personal expectations.
I am only responding to this as I was tipped off as to what you posted. You are on ignore so I wouldn't have known otherwise. I see you can not be an adult and just let things drop after our disagreement over how you handled the situation with your neighbor and their dog. You will now follow me into other threads and try and start a fight. And yet you talk of my character. Wow are you a piece of work.
I. - For the record I stated I went to the other local dealer who would also do nothing. You can never get anything straight. There are excatly 2 Toyota dealers local to me and both are useless. The next closest, as I said, is an hour away one way. That is too far to be going on a regular basis as I needed to with that god awful vehicle.

II. - judging by my other posts I am difficult to deal with huh? What posts would those be? The ones in your dog thread where I pointed out how unstable you are and thus not someone I would want armed in my neighborhood or do you mean all the countless posts where I say how good the dealer I use is and how I go there for most everything that is done to my vehicle because they treat their customers right. Maybe you mean all those posts where I jump in and defend dealerships on the whole and say they aren't all crooks and incompetant so if you do get a bad one look elsewhere?
III. - I wasn't satisfied with the overall purchase because the vehicle was a lemon. I was satisfied with it until it started to fall apart under me within a month of owning it. All those problems in just 7 months of ownership but you say I am making it a bigger deal than it was. Yeah, right. Hmm, that sounds a lot like a story I heard about a guy who wanted to bring a gun on his walks because a neighbor's dog barked at him as he walked past their house. You must have heard about that fellow haven't you? The one who wanted to turn a stupid neighbor dispute into armed conflict?
IV. - You are right, the dealer did basically ignore me as did the area rep and even Toyota itself. That is why I will never again buy a Toyota. It is because they don't give a darn. They are too arrogant due to the public perception of their products which makes them think they can get away with it. They were given every chance by me, in a reasonable manner, to fix these issues. At least to TRY and they failed miserably. Had they at least tried I wouldn't have got so disgusted but they wouldn't even try. My MOPARS are not flawless and have had problems. The difference is the dealer I use for MOPAR vehicles does their job.
Had nothing to do with the way I tried to handle it however. Unlike you I try and handle things the right way, the 1st time, so that I do get results. The threats and anger and all of that comes as a last resort not my go to method as it seems with you. Remember as well that on day three of ownership I found the 1st strip of peeling paint and the dealer made ME buy touchup paint. DAY THREE! How difficult could I have been on the very 1st visit to the dealer with a problem? Doesn't that show what kind of dealer it was? Even if I was livid( which I was not - yet )it would have been justified with paint issues on a brand new vehicle like that.
I never spoke once with the area rep so he wasn't ignoring me because of anything I said to him. He wouldn't call me back( left voice mail messages that he needed to come to the dealer to see the paint problems )nor would he call the dealer back either( they claimed )as I already stated. Hard to justify calling me the problem there bucko when I never even spoke to him. Even when speaking to Toyota HQ and getting a major run around and blow off I always said Ma'am/Sir, thank you and please, etc... Yelling, hollering, and threats have their place and time but they are generally best used as your last resort. When all civiilized avenues have been explored then you do what you have to do. None of the angry stuff came from me until right at the end( about month 6 of ownership ).
So you can try and spout off about it all you want to try and make me look bad and get your childish revenge against me but you are as wrong here as you were in your dog/gun thread. If you want to know how difficult I am to deal with as a customer I would be glad to give you the name of the local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer my family has dealt with since the late 60's or the Marina I have dealt with since the early 90's and you can ask them.
Now, grow up and be an adult and stop trying to provoke an incident. I already told you I was putting you on ignore and wouldn't post in your thread anymore. Don't go looking for trouble by starting it with me elsewhere. Unbelievable. How old are you? 12?
